A BIT OF NOSTALGIA & FATHER'S DAY CARD by Liz Hocking

Well another month nearly over and Christmas will be upon us before we
know it. I have recently been getting my granddaughters' albums up to
date to include their great grandparents.

FAMILY

For this layout I started with a sheet of old patterned paper that I
have had for some time and applied some Gesso and a little bronze
coloured textured paste. I then used the Memory Maze 'flower' stencil
and applied it with textured paste to the patt. paper.

I had lots of fun using Gelatos to colour the flowers and they came up a treat, don't you think?

I then used the negative chipboard 'sunburst' and applied gesso and gelatos and some Modge Podge

Once this was all done, I started with my favourite part of any layout,
building it all up with embellishments. I just had to work on the
Memory Maze chipboard 'Family' which I used metallic melts. I so love
the effect that these melts give to chippies, they either can be heated
flat or you can make them 'bubble'.

Well with Father's day coming around quick in the southern hemisphere, I
thought I would try something different. I usually do not place
chipboard on my cards, but with this lovely grand father clock from Memory Maze I would not resist using it. I then treated it with
Art Extra Vagance Textured Paste, Gold crackle.

Then with some new patterned paper I set to putting my card together and
here is the end result. I was so happy with the effect the crackle
medium had on the grand clock.
